I've actively avoided learning and using my current employer's jargin/TLAs/etc. Every review I get high praise for communication, how well I work with teams of different skillsets/expertise. I can't help but believe that I'm considered a good communicator because I use "real" words to describe things instead of the made up nonsensical "official" terminology.
